Joaquin Murrieta: California Bandit

Imagine for a second that you’re a young immigrant, lured to a foreign land with hopes of creating a better life for yourself and your family. Upon arrival, however, things don’t turn out quite like you dreamed and those in power decided to take everything from you that you hold dear. Your land is stolen, your brother murdered by so-called vigilantes without the benefit of a trial and you yourself tied up, horsewhipped, and forced to watch your beautiful wife beaten to the point that she would die in your arms. Sounds like a nightmare. I imagine most of us, under similar circumstances, would be looking for revenge. And, according to legend, vengeance is exactly what the fabled bandit Joaquin Murrieta exacted. The story goes that he waited till nightfall and slid into the camp of his tormentors, dressed all in black. Dispatched one of ‘em with a blade, silently chopping up the body and leaving the dismembered limbs scattered around camp to be found in the morning. And the next night he repeated this action. And again, the night after that. Once Joaquin’s immediate thirst for retribution was satisfied, he moved on to other such men, the type who preyed on his kind. He soon formed a group of like-minded compadres, dubbed bandits, who dedicated their lives to protecting the innocent, robbing the rich, and righting various wrongs. A compelling story that is said to have been the real-life inspiration behind Zorro and possibly even Batman. A tale found repeated all over the world wide web both in print and song. But how true is it? Historian Susan Lee Johnson summed it up best when she wrote “So many tales have grown up around Murrieta that it is hard to disentangle the fabulous from the factual”. Who was Joaquin Murrieta? I mean who was he REALLY? Why is there so much misinformation about the man? Was he a freedom fighter - righteous avenger of injustice - or simply a bloodthirsty bandit who preyed on the weak? How badly will I butcher any Spanish names I attempt to pronounce? #wildwest #california #history

I think that what made Joaquin Murrieta blood up. Imagine if you could. Born while California was under recent Mexican rule after the Spanish lost control over their Central American land holding in 1821. Born in 1830 it's mainly old Spanish famlies and Mexican citizens and a fair group of several indian tribes, then you turn 19 and suddenly your up to your armpits with Gringos, Chinese, Australians, European and South American people. No wonder he went to crime. I myself born in Alaska before the oil boom of 1969, which led to a rush of every type of people, with every background, it greatly changed our society. Yes, at time I can understand why blood letting might be the solution to a problem. But this isn't the days of 'Ol Hickory, if it were it would be diffrent from today. I think you do a great job on your podcasts. You get most of your stories correct with only a few mistakes. So thank you Josh and keep 'em coming. A future subject slightly off your normal topics would be Lt. Aldophus Greeley and his expedition to northern coastal Canada in 1881in order to do a northern search for the farthest north study.

By the mid 1800's most "Californio" families were of mixed Spanish and Native California Indian peoples , they were in effect Mestizo or Metis if you will, and had Rancheros that were Spanish land grants and before the Anglo invasion held much political power and were mostly very well off! The full-blooded Spanish members of these families mostly went back to Spain not Mexico and left part of the family fortune with those who stayed behind and took the rest back to Spain and received grants from the crown and used their fortune to pick up their lives and move on . These people made most of their fortunes off of cattle and horses, with some timber thrown in.

How deeply would treasure have been buried in 1850's California by a handful of bandits who had just hand tools--perhaps just their knives? Buried treasure sometimes is real. A nugget in "The Magnificent Seven" is that one of the seven gunfighters was obsessed with buried treasure. As the villager informed him, "if we had that treasure, we wouldn't be living here."

I did happen to see a picture of Joaquin Murrieta's head inside--just as you said--a brine-filled jar. I saw the picture of this alleged head belonging to him in a newspaper, which was reported to be on display in a museum in a small town in northern California, according to the article. (This was back in the 1980s). If that head did indeed belonged to Joaquin Murrieta, I could see that when he was around, he was fair-complected with longish, coarse jet-black hair, and he looked surprisingly good-looking despite his head being inside that jar all these years. I was shocked when I saw it, the fact that this thing was out there, preserved and on public display still. You asked, so I am telling you. I had once read before in a history class that he had strung up the Chinese on tree limbs by their pigtails and shot out their eyes just because he hated the way they looked so much, not for monetary gain reasons alone so he murdered them just because he was mean. What a horrible man. I only wish that Love and his vigilantes had thought of finishing off Murrieta sooner. I would not doubt at all what you said regarding the Chinese community offering Love money for Joaquin's capture and extermination. They weren't safe with him around.

That’s why they called him the sly fox. A.k.a. Zorro. The part where you said were the preacher confirmed it was joaquin. Of course he’s gonna confirm that. The preacher and the rest of the people that confirm that that was his head wanted to make sure he continued to be the sly fox. I live here in California and I talked to old people that tell me about the legends of joaquin. Them and other historians, true historians agree that he was a Vigilante. His story was so popular that it did make a man write books about a guy name Zorro. From there on a lot of people plagiarized, and made their own version of Zorro. And it went all the way back around back to the states. I will agree with you that the Zorro that we seen on TV and comic books was inspired by different vigilantes.

Josh, ...please do remember that there is no Nation on the face of this Planet have a perfect "Past History". Furthermore, just because History is always written by the Victor, does not mean that the Victor was always in the wrong. Also, there was a Show on one of PBS Channels out there in CA. where one Eliseo Gamino interviews an old Hispano Ranchero Historian by the name of Humberto Garza. You will find some interesting facts about Joaquin Murrieta on it.

If I gave the impression that I think any nation has a perfect history, then I'm doing a very bad job at expressing my views.

Panoche is like the desert. He robbed the paicines store which was owned by my girlfriend's mom in 95. San Benito county. Panoche inn is the only thing down there except a few places behind the inn and around the valley. New Idea is up that way to.
